'''Armageddon''' is a [[Hive World]] of the [[Imperium]], and . It is the fourth planet of the [[Armageddon System]].{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|6c}} Armageddon has been the site of [[Armageddon Wars|some of the largest wars]] in the [[Imperium]]'s history.
Armageddon can be roughly divided into six distinct areas: the [[Fire Wastes]], the [[Deadlands]], [[Armageddon Prime]], [[Armageddon Secundus]], the [[Equatorial Jungle]], and [[Phoenix Island]].{{citethis}}
==The Armageddon System==

There are ten planets in the Armageddon system, although not all of them are inhabitable.{{citethis}}
The inner two planets, [[Kernbright]] and [[Verity]] are too close to the system sun to be colonised. This is not true of the third world, [[Gaval]], which sports an Imperial mining colony. The inhabitable area of the system continues with the fourth world, Armageddon itself, fifth the [[Ice World]] [[Chosin]] and sixth the [[Imperial Navy]]-dominated world called [[St. Jowen's Dock]]. Two gas giants, [[Namara]] and [[Gramaul]] follow, with the ninth world being the curiously xeno-terraformed [[Pelucidar]]. Pelucidar is considered suspect and is largely off-limits to Imperial citizens. The tenth and final world is [[Iandai]], a ringed gas giant.{{Fn|2}}
The Third War for Armageddon resulted in status changes in the system. The system [[Armageddon Monitoring Stations|Monitoring Stations]] Mannheim, Dante and Yarrick were all destroyed, while Chosin became completely Ork infested. St Jowen's Dock was heavily assaulted by the Orks, who also attempted to land on Pelucidar. Their force vanished without trace and the world remains uninhabited.{{Fn|1a}}
Armageddon was formerly [[Ullanor]] until the Cult Mechanicus used Ork-based technology as part of their Grand Experiment to teleport the planet into the system. They sought to hide it in this to be colonized planet so they could plunder the world of any remaining technology.{{fn|8}}
